Our satellite partner

Very proud to be an official Viasat VAM.

Avionics Networks is an official Viasat Value-Added Manufacturer (VAM). LECO-SOLARIS is built for the Viasat satellite network, with LTE beside it, and engineered by our team for each mission.

The platform

Mission communications, beyond the last cell tower.

LECO-SOLARIS is designed for airborne mission communications using satellite and cellular network architectures, with edge processing and network integration to support telemetry and other bandwidth-aware data applications.

Built for mission-specific connectivity, the platform can be configured to support remote operations, data exchange and selected compressed media workflows where appropriate to the available link capacity.

Link continuity

Inside cellular coverage, LTE carries the load. Beyond it, the satellite link takes over and edge processing decides what goes first.

Telemetry and command data keep flowing, and media is compressed to fit the capacity the link actually has.

Any application

Not just aircraft.

LECO-SOLARIS started in the air, but we customize it for any application that needs data beyond the last cell tower. Tell us what has to stay connected, and we'll engineer the unit, the power and the interfaces around it.

Capabilities

Configured for the platform and the mission.

Avionics Networks works with the customer to define the Viasat service, data rates, power and interfaces for the intended platform and mission.

Viasat + LTE architecture

Viasat satellite and cellular links in one platform, with the path chosen for the coverage and the mission.

BVLOS data links

Communications for aircraft and autonomous missions operating beyond visual line of sight.

Edge computing

Onboard processing that filters, prioritizes and compresses data before it uses the link.

Telemetry

Aircraft and mission telemetry delivered to the ground station across terrestrial and satellite networks.

Bandwidth-aware applications

Data exchange and selected compressed media workflows sized to the available link capacity.

Systems integration

Antennas, power and interfaces engineered into the aircraft by our team, with our DERs where approval is needed.
